<div class="description"><p>Modifies the default behavior of html A tag, so that the default action is prevented when href
attribute is empty.</p>

<p>The reasoning for this change is to allow easy creation of action links with <code>ngClick</code> directive
without changing the location or causing page reloads, e.g.:
<code>&lt;a href="" ng-click="model.$save()"&gt;Save&lt;/a&gt;</code></p></div>
